After releasing two albums of experimental songwriting (VELD, 2017; Folly, 2019) and four instrumental collections for the KPM Music Library, O’Sullivan has devoted the past five years to composing a suite of chamber music for the Belgian classical ensemble Echo Collective. The result is a mosaic of self-possessed, elegantly latticed arrangements for strings, woodwinds, piano, harp, choir, and percussion, sculpted with a deep emphasis on texture and counterpoint. <div><br /></div><div>Drawing on a period of solitude, introspection, dream journaling and the insight of raising young children, the influences on this music can be felt more as an internalised elegy rather than musical ancestry. The title of the work is an homage to the mystery schools from Greco-Roman antiquity to modern day psychedelic research and ethnobotany. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is an opaque sonic lineage at work here as meticulous intervals and shapes are dreamt and sought, mirroring elements of high renaissance music, the late orchestral suites of Duke Ellington, modern sacred music, village green minimalism and hauntological English wyrd. Rosarium is a hybrid music and a new benchmark for O’Sullivan who has diligently scouted musical treasures for over two decades. </div><div><br /></div><div> Rosarium was recorded at Decca/Jet Studios in Brussels and engineered by Timothy Lewis aka Thighpaulsandra of Spiritualized, Coil, etc. Alongside Echo Collective the ensemble on Rosarium is augmented by American multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick, English vocalist Astrud Steehouder, and poems read by O’Sullivan’s daughter Ivy. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London</div><div>Composed by Daniel O'Sullivan </div><div>Performed by Daniel O'Sullivan, Peter Broderick, Astrud Steehouder and Echo Collective </div><div><br /></div><div>Peter Broderick • Voice and Bass Synthesizer </div><div>Margaret Hermant • Violin and Harp </div><div>Yann Lecollaire • Bass Clarinet and Baritone Saxophone </div><div>Neil Leiter • Viola </div><div>Annemie Osborne • Cello </div><div>Daniel O'Sullivan • Voice, Piano, Drums, Bass and Flute </div><div>Ivy O'Sullivan • Narration </div><div>Astrud Steehouder • Voice </div><div>Thighpaulsandra • Modular Synthesizer </div><div><br /></div><div>Recorded at Jet Studios, Brussels </div><div>Mixed by Thighpaulsandra at Aerial Studios, Carmarthenshire </div><div>Cover illustration by Jenny Hirons </div><div>Photography by Lewis Hayward </div><div>Design and layout by Mark Titchner </div><div>Published by Mute Song</div><div><br /></div><div>Order from House Of Mythology <a href="https://store.houseofmythology.com/product/112824" target="_blank">here</a></div></div>Mothlitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10690659146215302053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443623966610020205.post-26798554200617554372023-05-01T12:09:00.002+01:002023-05-01T12:09:37.725+01:0014.07.23<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Charles and I have been discussing this concept since This Is Not This Heat drew to a close. We’ve since assembled a group of seasoned musical adepts and have meticulously arranged the recorded repertoire as well as some new music. Ticket links for Paris, Munch and London are all available on the venue websites and can be accessed via my linktree <a href="https://linktr.ee/danielosullivan" target="_blank">here</a>. Lifetones is managed by IDA Projects, please forward any PR/booking enquiries <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ida_projects/" target="_blank">here</a>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p2" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Music originally issued on a limited edition cassette by Strange Attractor Press to accompany a book of drawings by my dear friend and incredible multi-disciplinary artist, Ian Johnstone. Now available digitally from my <a href="https://dosullivan.bandcamp.com/album/swarming-shapes-musick-for-ark-todd" target="_blank">bandcamp page</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Swarming Shapes: Musick For Ark Todd</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By Daniel O’Sullivan</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A: The Levitating Moon Piece</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">B: Black Egg / Orpheus</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wrote several pieces of music for Ian’s ‘Ark Todd’ static levitation performance over the years. Each setting provoked a different approach. The collaboration with Ulver at the Norwegian Opera house in Oslo was well documented but this particular version, composed for the exhibition of his Stab Wounds at the Horse Hospital gallery in Bloomsbury, has been resting dormant until now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second piece was a commission for The Place Theatre, also in Bloomsbury. An unfinished piece of choreography with dancer and vocalist Francois Testory. Like all of Ian’s work, this was a singular vision probing the human condition and meticulously scratching for truth under every surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Born in Cumbria, September 2nd, 1967, year of the goat, raised by his loving parents Herbert and Muriel Johnstone. He graduated in fine art at Middlesex university, where he cultivated Mr. Todd - a recurring performance motif hybridising the hunted fox, the poisoned seagull, the Edwardian philanthropist in Disneyland biting at the moon in perpetual levitation and static petrification. Partner of body artist Alan Oversby (Mr. Sebastian). Partner and muse of Geoff Rushton (Jjohn Balance). Made several costumes and artworks for Coil including Black Antlers, the Racing Green box and The Ape Of Naples. He performed live on stage with Mothlite and Ulver, the latter of which was a performance of Mr. Todd's levitation piece and The Leg Cutter at the Norwegian National Opera house. He was a radical permaculturalist, beekeeper and savant of medicinal plants. The main concern in his later years was Cantu Fermusu, Several acres of woodland in the Asturian mountains which he cultivated with Mikel Quirós. He was a master craftsman, discerning to the finest detail, humble and kind, self-critical and irreverent, in love with nature, at war with the patriarchy. A good animal, true to his animal instincts. He passed away under an Acer tree in Asturias, June 30th, 2015.</span><br />

I'm playing two nights with my sextet at <b>Sutton House</b> on April 5th and 6th. It's a Grade II listed Tudor manor house with a very beautiful Steinway grand piano.<br />
<br />
April 5th will also feature two artists from the O Genesis Recordings family, <b>The Silver Field</b> and <b>Richard Youngs</b>. <b>Thighpaulsandra</b> and <b>Peter Broderick</b> are my guests on the 6th. Peter plays a 'In A Landscape' by John Cage, Thighpaulsandra will perform solo music and then both will join the sextet to perform songs from my forthcoming solo LP, <i>Folly</i>. It's an intimate space and therefore seating is limited.<br />

the album: <a href="http://hyperurl.co/Folly-DOS">http://hyperurl.co/Folly-DOS</a></span></div>
<br />
<b>Daniel O'Sullivan</b> has announced details of his new solo album, <b>Folly</b>, out on <b>O Genesis Recordings</b> on 5 April 2019 with the first track to be taken from the album, ‘Silhouette’: <a href="https://youtu.be/n1qau8VKN2w" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/n1qau8VKN2w </a><br />
<br />
Folly is O’Sullivan’s second album under his own name and embodies a confident, evolution from his acclaimed debut <b>VELD</b> (2017, O Genesis), an album which distilled the multiverse into a rich and complex soundworld; textured and allusive, alive with sonic diversions, hypnotic mantras and ornately arranged songcraft.<br />
<br />
The release will coincide with a two-night residency for The New Arts & Music Programme at Sutton House, Hackney. Set in the Arts & Crafts era wing of this Tudor manor house, using its early 20th Century Steinway grand piano, Friday 5 April will see O’Sullivan performing songs from Folly with his ensemble, with special guests from the O Genesis family, <b>Richard Youngs</b> and <b>The Silver Field</b>, supporting. Saturday 6 April will include a solo performance from <b>Thighpaulsandra</b>, who recorded and mixed the album while Daniel performs songs with guest appearances by <b>Peter Broderick</b> and Thighpaulsandra among others.<br />
<br />
Folly was written around the birth of his son Ari and the passing of his friend Ian Johnstone, and both events were significant in the album that followed. O’Sullivan explains, “Joy is inseparable from suffering and sometimes those polarities arrive at the same moment. Music offers a vessel to contain the unspeakable.”<br />
<br />
This cycle of twelve songs deftly illustrates O'Sullivan's ascent as a unique and multidimensional songwriter. Moving from the familiar pantheon of experimental music and arriving upon a universal narrative probing the human condition from the inside out. Both lyrically and within the intricate lattice of arrangements, traditional forms are reshaped into transcendent pop symphonies. Both intimate and alien, archetypal and atypical, joyous and melancholic, the aperture of Folly is wide open and light streams in.<br />
<br />
O’Sullivan explains the solo writing process, “Writing songs alone can take some time even if a song arrives fully formed in your mind. The execution of it involves long durations with each individual part of the arrangement until it reaches something concise. The song tells you what it needs and I try not to force ideas onto it.” and goes on to say, “These songs are outside in rather than inside out, there was always a latency between the birth of the song and my understanding of its purpose. Folly is looking at who is doing the shaping, most of these songs are about writing songs.”<br />
<br />
Folly was recorded and mixed by Thighpaulsandra (Coil, Julian Cope Band, Spiritualized) at his Aeriel studio premises in Wales and mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.
Written mostly in London, O’Sullivan explains the inspiration for the title, “There's a folly of a medieval abbey in these gardens that surround where I live. My family and I spend a lot of time roaming around there, amongst the frogs, foxes, mushrooms, owls, and the many strange "introduced" plants and trees. It was landscaped to be a rabbit hole sort of place.”<br />
<br />
Daniel O’Sullivan is a composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living and working in London and has been contributing a vibrant, chameleonic brew to the music landscape since the late 1990's. He has achieved international acclaim writing, recording and performing with Grumbling Fur (with longtime friend and collaborator Alexander Tucker), Ulver, Sunn O))), Guapo, Miracle, Æthenor and the recent reincarnation of This Heat in the form of This Is Not This Heat.<br />
<br />
5 April – London, Sutton House – with Richard Youngs and The Silver Field<br />
6 April – London, Sutton House – with Thighpaulsandra and Peter Broderick<br />
<br />
Folly is released on O Genesis Recordings on 5 April 2019</div>

My first collection of instrumentals for KPM is called The Physic Garden and is steaming on the EMI Production Music website now. Click <a href="https://www.emipm.com/en/browse/labels/KPM/2059" target="_blank">here</a> to check it out.<br />
<br />
The Physic Garden was inspired by my favourite green spaces, from manicured gardens and follies to urban common land, overgrown and forgotten. The invitation to make "library music" initially transported me back to those sepia tinted memories of Arena documentaries and public information broadcasts; Penguin Cafe, Nyman and Greenaway; late night screenings of weird arthouse, sci-fi and B movies on Channel 4. You know when you’re eleven years old and suddenly you’re watching a Hal Hartley film or Fitzcarraldo or something. Other things like the rope swing over the brook in the local park and the strawberries climbing the trellis in my grandmother's garden. All these sights, sounds and smells coincide with the verdant swathe of vistas from recent times. Visiting bio-luminescent trees in the Peruvian Amazon, Watching my daughter scale the towering holly and juniper in the strange Victorian mews where we live. Sometimes a warm memory can be convalescent, particularly when it takes the shape of music. </div>
